Quick info
About The Falcon
On Cornmarket in High Wycombe, The Falcon is a pub serving real ale, wine and coffee alongside English breakfast and pub grub. The format is walk-in, with orders placed at the bar or through the app rather than at a table. The food side covers a breakfast menu as well as standard pub dishes, giving options across the day. Drinks run from real ale to wine, with coffee also on offer for those stopping in earlier. No reservations are taken, and the counter and app ordering keep the pace informal. The pub sits on Cornmarket in the town.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly point to slow service as the recurring letdown, with several describing long waits for food, including one who waited over half an hour for breakfast after a soft drink arrived quickly, and another whose order took fifteen minutes longer than companions ordering at the same time. Hygiene complaints surface too: one diner reports finding a hair in their food, another describes sticky tables and flies, and a separate account details a dispute over a wrong order, the classic burger versus chicken, that staff refused to correct or refund. Against this, several reviewers still call it a reliable, relaxed pub good for a casual meal or catch up, praising the beer selection and food as "simply delicious," and individual staff members are singled out by name for friendly, welcoming service that made visits enjoyable. The pattern is mixed: dependable for a straightforward pint and meal for some, marred by delays and cleanliness lapses for others.

“My soft drink came quickly but I had to wait well over half an hour for the breakfast I ordered. I chased up my order (twice) with staff too. Not very good at all today 😞”

“It's a spoons so I don't expect gourmet meals or anything. Saying that, the food it pretty nice and staff are reasonably good at thier jobs. JUST A BIT OF A SHAME THAT THERE ARE ALWAYS 5 ZILLION FLIES THAT LIVE THERE. plus this spoons seems to attract the unwashed element of wycombe (might explain the flies). If you want a nice spoons you may prefer to drive to Marlow or Beaconsfield.”

“Predictability grim but was out-voted and had to go. Ordered on the app, my food took 15 mins more than everyone else's to come despite ordering the same time, so they'd all finished by the time I started. Place feels like it needs a good clean.”

“Unfortunately, I found a hair in my food during my visit. This was very disappointing and raised concerns about hygiene standards. I informed the staff, but the experience affected my overall impression of the restaurant. I hope more attention will be paid to food preparation and quality control in the future.”

“Worst customer service I have ever seen!! So I visited today with my family and placed an order at the bar, when the food arrived 2 of the meals ordered were wrong so the lady then says she will get them changed, to then a few minutes later the lady that had served me came over and asked what was wrong with the food I said you put in the wrong order ( bare in mind this is a trainee ) that they have left unsupervised so she then stands and argue the fact that I said chicken when my words were the classic burger she then walked away to have another lady come and ask the same question so explained again to her she then trys to tell me the classic burger is a chicken burger when there app clearly states different and the lady never stated that at the till like she claimed to have, so moral of story they refused to change the food and told me I wasnt entitled to a refund as there was nothing wrong with the food. The staff are rude very confrontational and completely lack in customer service this will be the last time I will visit this particular spoons as was completely unexcepable they were at complete fault but didnt want to own it I will be reporting to head office as this is a joke”
